You have no common sense. If you die from electrocution, it can happen on a windmill or in your garage. You can die from a 10 foot fall or off the roof of a house.

By far, coal is the worst because of the illness and death from black lung.

Drilling for oil and gas is also dangerous because a worker's safety is often in the hands of another, plus when pressure in the hole overcomes the equipment it is catastrophic.

There Are many more bird deaths for other reasons than because of windmills. The biggest threat to birds is habitat loss.

Clean coal is the solution. Kudos to president for reviving clean coal.

The wind turbine operators do not die from electrocution, as much as from falls from 10-17 stories high wind turbine towers. Nothing in my garage is that high.

Besides wind does not flow every minute. Since electric power is not easily stored, a reliable backup power such as coal is needed.

I have nothing against any green source of energy, so long as it is not subsidized with my taxes such as Solyndra was.

Finally those wind turbine towers are ugly and I certainly do not wish a view of them from my yard.
